Picking up in the franchise's timeline, in Mega Man 9 robot riots have sprung up all over the world. While many believe this to be the work of the evil Dr. Wily, Mega Man's creator Dr. Light is stunned to see many of the rioting robots are his own creation. Suddenly, Dr. Wily appears on TV claiming Dr. Light as the evil mastermind behind the attacks and appeals to viewers to help fund his campaign against Dr. Light and the rogue robots. Certain of Dr. Light's innocence, Mega Man sets out to stop the riots and unravel the truth behind the attacks. Of course, along the way the Blue Bomber will have to do battle with a variety of (difficult) bosses, three of which we've detailed below. To complement today's article, we've included exclusive new artwork and screenshots, all of which can be seen in great supply in our media section.

Tornado Man: Works for the Weather Manipulation Office to help control and stop the formation of large storms all over the world.
